Lyrics: Like A Boy (Video Version)

[Spoken:]
2007
Ladies, I think it's time to switch roles
C-I-A-R-A, c'mon

Pull up your pants (Just like him)
Take out the trash (Just like him)
Getting your cash like him, fast like him
Girl, you wanna act like he did

I'm talking 'bout
Security codes on everything
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
A foreign account
And another one he don't know about

Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like, "Where you be at?"
'Cause I'm out four in the morning
On the corner rolling, doing my own thing

What if I had a thing on the side, made you cry
Would the rules change up or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy?
Sometimes, I wish I could act like a boy

Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that

(Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that)

Girl go ahead and be (Just like him)
Go run the streets (Just like him)
Go home missin sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front with you friends, act hard when you with them like him

Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an airtight alibi
Keep it hid in the dark
What he don't know won't break his heart

Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you

But when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at
'Cause I'm out, four in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing

What if I had a thing on the side (What if I)
Made you cry (Made you cry)
Would the rules change up or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that (Boy)
Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad can't handle that (Uh)

If I was always gone (Uh)
Hit the sun getting home (Would you like that?)
I told you I was with my crew when I knew it wasn't true
(Would you like that?)
If I act like you
Walked a mile off in your shoes (Would you like that?)
Messing with you head again
Dose of your own medicine

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)
C-I-A-R-A
Let's fly (c'mon!)
Let's fly
Ladies, let's fly!

If I played you, would you like that?)
Had friends, would you like that?)
never call, would you like that?)
Hell nah, you wouldn't like that, no!

You mad, can't handle that
Why you getting mad?
You mad, can't handle that

What if I had a thing on the side, made you cry
Would the rules change up or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy?
Sometimes, I wish I could act like a boy

Can't be getting mad, but you mad, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad, but you mad, can't handle that
